Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

David A Jones Good cast. Very well acted. GREAT scenery. And although my knowledge of such things is a bit limited, the Navajo beliefs were portrayed accurately. What's not to like?Here you have a big city homicide cop whose life is in a shambles and whose wife is leaving him. He wants to quit, but his boss sends him on a "simple" prisoner retrieval.Turns out the prisoner is a shape-shifter, escapes from the big city cop (Scott Glenn), and the ensuing search for the prisoner (Benjamin Bratt) brings the lead tracker (Angela Alverado) and cop together for an interesting and tense adventure.Some of the dialog in the ending scenes was a bit cliché and tedious, but it did not detract from the overall enjoyment I had of the movie.I liked it well enough, I may watch it a 2nd time in the future.jonesey65244

merklekranz "Shadowhunter" is not perfect, but it is different. Scott Glenn in his usual sleepy performance mode, is the Los Angeles detective assigned to bring back a Navaho killer from the Arizona reservation. When the "Coyote Man" fugitive escapes from Glenn, a desert pursuit commences. Benjamin Bratt is strong as the rarely seen villain. Robert Beltran, the reservation sheriff, is along for the ride, and Angela Alvarado is the love interest female tracker. The scenery is gorgeous, the mystical aspects are interesting, and our hero takes some real punishment. My only objection is that the rather shallow romantic scenes between Glenn and Alvarado, are nothing but a damn distraction. - MERK

lee-stamm Scott Glenn does a fine job in his portrayal of a burnt out big city cop who is sent out to the Reservation to bring in a fugitive Navajo Indian for trial. It's supposed to offer him an easy assignment and some time to get himself back together. Instead, it turns out to be a nightmarish trip into the dark world of Navajo witchcraft, with Benjamin Bratt disturbingly menacing as the evil fugitive "Wolf." Viewers who may know a bit about Navajo culture, or who have read the Navajo Tribal Police mysteries by Tony Hillerman will recognize the "Skinwalker" scenario depicted in this film, and will find it easier to follow. In summary, an above average film, with crisp location filming, and good performances all around.

hughbra Scott Glenn plays a big city cop suffering from major burn-out, both personally and professionally. He is sent to an Indian reservation in Arizona to extradite a serial killer with psychic powers. The killer escapes, but is able to remain psychically connected with Glenn, who accompanies the reservation police in their attempt to recapture the fugitive. Sinking into ever deepening depression Glenn is salvaged by a lady tracker, played by Angela Alvarado, and eventually finds redemption and romance with her. This is one of Scott Glenn's finest roles as well as being a tightly wound suspense thriller that will keep the viewer on the edge of their seat.
